Introducing the ZenGuide Network

I’ve brought together the blogs of friends, colleagues, associates and clients of ZenGuide in one place - The ZenGuide Network at www.zenguidenetwork.tumblr.com. I hope you’ll enjoy browsing through this eclectic range of articles and photos - and to read more from each of the contributors, you can always click through from there to the original blogs.

The contributors include:

Bridget Grenvill-Cleave, a management consultant and executive coach at 10 Consulting, who is passionate about the benefits of Positive Psychology. She blogs about the measurable impact of applying positive psychology techniques in the workplace and importance of employee wellbeing in contributing to business success.

Melanie Crowe is a massage therapist whose skills range from relaxation massage to sports and no-hands techniques. She offers tips to deal with stress as well as writing about getting the most out of massage for your wellbeing.

Steven Lee is a Malaysian-born photographer based in London. He offers commercial photography services to private clients as well as to fashion and lifestyle magazines. He is about to launch his second photography book on Malaysian faces. He writes about his photo shoots and gives tips about photography.

Silvia Cambie, a business communications expert, blogs about her cross-cultural experiences in Eastern Europe, Italy, the US and UK as well as on communications issues.

The criteria I have chosen for including these contributors is that I know them personally and they are blogging in the context of their business or profession - and they have great content that’s lively and interesting.

If you enjoy their posts and visit their original blogs, do leave them a comment to let them know that you came via the ZenGuide Network!

You might also like to know something about the application that I’ve used to create the network - Tumblr. You can sign up for a free account within minutes and choose from a selection of customisable templates. You can then aggregate feeds from different sources - eg if you have a Flickr account for your photos, and you “tweet” using Twitter, and you blog etc - as well as adding individual written posts or photos and videos direct onto your Tumblr page. It’s not a blog in that it doesn’t have useful sorting tools like Archives or Categories but it’s a fun way to bring together a range of different web presences all into one place.
